Mister Nobody - Duke Special

He’s disappearing, one limb at a time

Nobody bothers or blinks

See him through keyholes, a victim of crime

As his reputation shrinks

A wife and three children he kissed by the door

A telephone call when he left

Now he’s betrayed by the one that he trusts

That old faithful kiss of death

He’s Mister Nobody

He doesn’t see that his moment won’t last

Oh, Mister Nobody

Soon he’ll be slipping on into the past

He’s from an old world of train tracks and tramps

Damsels and villainous grins

Old shaky ladders and kerosene lamps

Romance and violins

Now he’s a relic, a fading antique

A sad and embarrassing fool

Lost his last chance when they started to speak

And broke all the rules, so throw out the weak

We’ll have to be cruel and hope that he disappears

He’s Mister Nobody

He doesn’t see that his moment won’t last

Oh, Mister Nobody

Soon he’ll be slipping on into the past

So throw out the weak

We’ll have to be cruel and hope that he disappears
